Chapter Seventeen: Benevolence and Righteousness
Su Mingliang's body suddenly shook. He had lived for most of his life and had never experienced anything. Su Wanqiu's words evoked memories from far and near in his mind: Those who wanted to make a profit after losing a bet are not just learning to bark by dogs? You just give him more than a dozen dollars and ask him to be beaten for you, and he is very happy. This is something he has seen with his own eyes.
"Grandpa, the gambler is irrational. If he doesn't teach him a hard lesson, he will never dare to be involved again, he will become more serious. Today, if he loses, he dares to sell me, if he loses tomorrow, he will dare to sell his second sister and fourth sister, if he loses the next day, he will dare to sell his house and land. Later, he will have nothing to lose. His wife and daughter are nothing that he dares to sell. If you want to stop him, he will not even be sure whether he recognizes you as his father."
At first, everyone was shocked by Su Wanqiu's madness and kitchen knife. They didn't dare to provoke her, so they could only listen to her quietly. When they finished listening to her, they all felt a lot of sweat. They felt that her words were very reasonable. After so many years, they lost their bets and sold their wives and children. I have never seen them and heard of them several times. Who dares to say that Su Yishan would not become such a person?
"You... you fart, don't talk nonsense. I'm not like this. Dad, don't listen to her. She deliberately scares you to harm me. Dad, you don't know what your son's character is..."
"Yes, my uncle has a good character. If you lose money, you sell your niece; if you just sell the fish, you dare to gamble again and lose all the five taels of silver; the public servants will not mention the thirty taels of gambling debts for you. Anyway, this New Year is a simple life, and our family is not diligent in working hard and earning less. It is definitely not because you lose thirty taels..."
"Shut up..."
Su Yishan was furious and suddenly heard a angrily shouting behind him: "It's you who should shut up."
"Uncle Six, you can't spoil her anymore. It's all you spoil her so lawless."
Su Yishan was very angry and even spoke very well to Su Mingjiang. However, he saw the sixth uncle standing up and staring at him coldly: "I don't use the third girl, are you spoiled? You spoiled you and you will lose 30 taels, so that the whole family and the young will drink the northwest wind?"
"I..." Su Yishan said in a silence and said angrily: "I... I'm just a little obsessed with it, and I won't bet any more in the future."
"Yishui, Yifeng, tell me, is your elder brother's words trustworthy?" Su Mingjiang turned to his two nephews, and saw Su Yishui stunned. Su Yifeng was absent from time to time and refused to speak.
"Dad, Uncle San, you have to think about it before saying this. Think about whether the gambler's words are trustworthy? Think about it again if you help your uncle excuse me at this moment, are you willing to accompany him to drink the northwest wind?"
"Shut up and stop instigating bad things here."
Su Yishan screamed in anger. Facing such a chaos, Su Mingliang could only sigh and rub his hands and said with a grim face: "No matter what,... we can't let the third girl chop off her uncle's hand."
"Okay. Don't buy it."
As soon as Su Wanqiu said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard her decisively: "It's okay not to buy hands, but I want to buy one of his fingers."
Everyone:...
"You...you might as well kill me..."
Su Yishan jumped, but saw Su Wanqiu holding the kitchen knife in his hand tightly and whispering: "Do you think I dare not? If it weren't for the sixth uncle the night before, I would have fought with you to die together. Uncle, I told you that I am not afraid of death, are you not afraid? If you are not afraid of us, let's go together."
"You... dad... you have to make the decision for me. We can't have a shrew of yaksha!"
Su Yishan had no choice but to ask for help from his father. Su Wanqiu looked at him with contempt. If he had known that his uncle was a coward in the nest, he would become a crab and domineering. If you make a move, he would be a turtle, and his head would be faster than anyone else.
"This... you can't chop your fingers, how can you do your job after chopping them?"
Su Mingliang looked anxious, but looking at his silent second and third sons, he knew very well: This time Su Yishan really scared everyone.
Yes, he lost five taels of silver in less than half a day, and was beaten to the point of being bruised and swollen... When Su Mingliang thought of this, he wanted to chop off this big hand.
Suddenly, he heard a "puzzle" sound, turned his head and saw Yan knelt in front of Su Wanqiu, crying and begging: "Qiu, Auntie has knelt down for you. Please, spare your uncle this time. I promise that he will not dare to do it in the future, and he will definitely not dare to do it in the future."
Su Wanqiu looked at Yan and shook his head and said, "Uncle, get up. We have been under the same roof for so many years. Can you control your uncle? I don't know?"
"You... why are you so cruel? My mother knelt down and begged you."
Su Wanchun rushed forward, but saw Su Wanqiu raise his eyebrows: "Yes, I'm so cruel. Since you know about it today, don't mess with me in the future."
"You... third sister, you are not what a woman does. If you spread it, people will say that you are a tigress and will not be able to marry in the future."
Su Wanqiu smiled proudly: "Call me, let alone tigress, or yasha, I won't lose a piece of meat. As for whether I can get married or not, I don't care. If I can't get married, I will be an old girl at home. At that time, you should pay more attention to marrying your wife. Never marry those evil and vicious people, otherwise don't blame me for teaching them to be a human being."
"You can pull it down." Su Yunhai pointed at her: "San Sister, look at you like this, why do you have the face to say that others are cruel and vicious? How can anyone in this world be more vicious than you?"
"Brother, have you never read it when you were studying? As the saying goes, the green snake's mouth and the needle on the tail of a wasp is not poisonous, and it is the most poisonous to the woman's heart."
After Su Wanqiu finished speaking, he chopped the door frame with a knife and said to Su Yishan: "Uncle, please leave some face for yourself. I will only chop you one finger to let you remember this lesson and you will receive it well. The hatred between us will be clear from now on."
"Bah! You vicious girl movie, you are against you. I won't let you chop it today. Let's see who dares to do anything to me?"
Su Yishan simply acted like a scoundrel. He didn't believe that he would not be willing to chop him up. Someone dared to hold him down? If he didn't hold him down, what other means could this crazy girl have?
But when Su Wanqiu smiled coldly, he looked at Su Mingjiang: "Sixth Uncle, you are a witness and supervisor of this bet. Now that the uncle wants to pay the debt, what do you say?"
Su Mingjiang actually had the intention to take a sip of wine, and then he put down the wine pot and said lightly: "The state has a national law and family rules. Yishan, you bet twice in a row, lost 35 taels, and you still have to sell your niece to pay off the debt. Every piece of the matter is a big mistake. If you don't punish severely, you won't be able to convince the public. You should have chopped you with one hand, but the three girls only chopped you with one finger. She is already concerned about family affection and kindness. If you don't even accept this punishment, this family will not tolerate you."
"What? Lao Liu, can't..."
Su Mingliang became anxious when he heard this, but saw Su Mingjiang looking at him steadily and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, I can still make the decision on this family, what do you think?"
This sentence seemed to reveal boundless majesty. Su Mingliang was shocked by him and could not say a word immediately.
